<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 454199, member: 13650&quot;]I&#039;m doing a MS set in an Intercept Shield album.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s about 50% complete.&nbsp; It isn&#039;t going as I thought it would.&nbsp; It&#039;s not as easy as I thought it would have been to get nice MS Franklins.&nbsp;&nbsp; I know there are many out there but there&#039;s a lot of issues.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Be careful buying from Ebay because some pictures in just the right light and glare can cover up stuff like you wouldn&#039;t believe.&nbsp; Sometimes I&#039;ve bought slabbed ones if I have trouble finding a raw one that I like, and cracked them out.&nbsp; I then remove the label and tape it behind the coin on the album to keep it with it.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; On more than one occasion, the slabbed one arrived and I decided it was too nice to remove it.&nbsp; So I ended up buying another. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; A coin show would be the ideal place to look.&nbsp; I just picked up a really nice 55 at the one I just went to.&nbsp;&nbsp; Depending on how picky you want to be, it&#039;s not as easy as you would think.&nbsp; There&#039;s always some problem.&nbsp; Some discoloration, or contact mark in a bad area, on what would otherwise be a perfect coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; Sometimes I pass just because the bell isn&#039;t well struck.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;m very happy with the set I&#039;ve got going so far.&nbsp; Some I could upgrade, to a better MS but for now, MS is the only goal to complete.&nbsp; A lot of glaring, luster in there!&nbsp;&nbsp; Have fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
